Because we don't have solutions. The closer and closer we get to the edge the more and more the realization is that nobody in any government has any sort of contingency plans for the worst happening.
Look at what has happened with recent natural disasters. Puerto Rico is STILL in shambles. And while unrelated to climate change, Flint Michigan's water is STILL undrinkable.
The terrifying part of climate change isn't that things will be harder, it's that our governments are completely unprepared to address it. One of the major political parties is fighting against any modicum of effort that WOULD help to address it.
